Bypass paywall: [Trump prepares to bail out Argentina, irking some in “America First” camp – The Washington Post](https://archive.is/6eCu8)
“President Donald Trump’s decision to give Argentina a $20 billion financial lifeline has stirred anger among some of his most loyal supporters and raised questions about the limits of his “America First” approach to the global economy.
But the administration last week showed no hesitation about saving Argentina from its latest economic misfortune. It’s not that the Latin American nation is vital to the global economy. Though it was among the world’s richest countries in the early 20th century, today its annual output is roughly equal to Michigan’s.”

“irking”? They have ZERO problem with Trump being a pedophile, you think some extra money being spent is going to do anything?

Wait you mean Elon’s buddy in South America with the chainsaw who DOGE’d his own country needs a bailout?

Trump Puts Even His Own Supporters LAST
Adding a tariff tax on their Walmart furniture
And sending it to Elon’s chainsaw wielding lunatic in Argentina
While MAGAts still wondering when their DOGE dividend check is coming in the mail so they can pay for the health insurance that Trump and the Republicans cut, while jumping up and town in front of the TV when Fox News tells them Comey is getting indicted and Leticia James has multiple mortgages

Trunk doesn’t really give a hoot about America First. The only thing he knows about them is they helped him with the knuckleheads getting him into office.

Anecdotal but there’s a hardcore Trumper I went to high school with who posted on FB: “I’m starting to think Trump doesn’t give a damn about American farmers” with a link to a story on the Argentina bailout. They don’t care about other people affected by his culture war, but when their wallets are empty they finally pay the fuck attention.
I’ll feel no sympathy to a single Trump voting farmer who’s forced to sell off their land (for millions of dollars). I don’t ***want*** that to happen to them, but it won’t have any impact on my day.

“America First” always meant “Trump First”
If you missed that minor fact over the last 10 years, that’s nobody’s fault but your own and Rupert Murdoch’s.

That’s the famous Nazi hideout for Nazi’s. Gotta make sure his escape plan is still viable.

Remember that it was socialist economic policies that doomed Argentina into austerity. Argentina now practices less socialism and favors capitalism with it’s right-wing president. I’ll say it on this forum till I’m blue in the face. Socialism as an economic form kills economies.

What the “America First” camp fails to understand is that Trump is in the “Trump First” camp.

To make matters worse, Argentina’s farmers are exporting soybeans to China. American are not first but last.

They’ll angry tweet maybe once or twice, and then memory-hole the entire thing and get in line.

We gotta give them some socialism so we can prove that their experiment with removing it works.

Subsidizing capitalism to defend it from its own in age instability is pretty much the (ruling class) American way.

Didn’t they just undercut the American soybean farmers and remove all their taxes on the product going to china?

Bypass paywall: [Trump prepares to bail out Argentina, irking some in “America First” camp – The Washington Post](https://archive.is/6eCu8)
“President Donald Trump’s decision to give Argentina a $20 billion financial lifeline has stirred anger among some of his most loyal supporters and raised questions about the limits of his “America First” approach to the global economy.
The president’s customary allergy to using taxpayer money to help other nations makes the Argentine rescue especially noteworthy. Since taking office in January, [Trump](https://archive.is/o/6eCu8/https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/09/06/trump-policies-recession-fears-golden-age/) has slashed U.S. foreign aid programs, slow-walked military assistance for Ukraine and demanded that close allies like South Korea and Japan pay for a greater share of their defense.
But the administration last week showed no hesitation about saving Argentina from its latest economic misfortune. It’s not that the Latin American nation is vital to the global economy. Though it was among the world’s richest countries in the early 20th century, today its annual output is roughly equal to Michigan’s.”
